The return of the Delphiniums (most of them) were my greatest thrill. The one surviving clematis from a co-op, last year, is about 6" tall so that is more good news.

Daylilies I've bought over the last three years are the greatest disappointments. They return but never do nearly as well as the old reliables. Their bud count is certainly not true for the northeast and too many places play with colors so they're not what they should be. I never thought the day would come when I'd refuse to buy daylilies but the time has come.

Donating daylilies to a friend's project to earn his Eagle Scout badge gave me much more room for dahlias this year. They came back for another few dozen later in the day.
